How Can One Lead a Happy Life if the Whole World Is Suffering?
What is your alternative?
Being just as miserable as others?
How does that help in their suffering?
Why must you be miserable because others are suffering?
Look, we all only have 24 hours in the day, all have bills to pay and a life to live of our own.
We were born with different, unfair, advantages and disadvantages than others.
Some were born prettier, more handsome, or into richer circumstances.
Some were born, gifted with intelligence, while others have artistic talents, and some do not have anything at all.
We are all different, but we are all alive nonetheless.
We all fear, worry, cry, get angry and stressed.
But we also all get happy, laugh, get excited and love life at times.
Regardless of what happens anywhere else in the world, you will still be alive and have to live this life, with everything that is a part of it.
You cannot change your genetics, cannot change what you did in the past, and cannot diffuse someone’s suffering by suffering yourself.
